It certainly makes a nice banner, Ann!
Sounds like a plan to me! :blueblob:Quote:

Really? So cool! Portland's only an hour away. Next time I'm up there I'll check it out.
I have one just a few miles down the street. Any Borderer who comes to Memphis gets a meal there, my treat!
I just checked out the menu - some nice ideas on there.:-)
How cool, We have our own restaurant! Wonder if we can cut in on the profits! :spin:
When I turned on the TV last night I caught the last few minutes of Mohammed Ali's 70th birthday bash in Las Vegas which, of course, had many celebrities in attendance. I wondered if Glenn was there, but I imagine we would have heard if he was. Anyway, it reminded me of the 2010 Celebrity Fight Night at which Glenn was present & performed.

Funny story that is Eagles related...
I am a big fan of a guitar amp company called 65amps - co-owned by Dan Boul and Peter Stroud. Peter Stroud is an amazing session guitarist who has played with the likes of Don Henley, Sheryl Crow, Pete Droge, Sarah McLaclan(sp), etc.
Last week they had a special webcast and Dan and Peter shared stories about how the amp company came about. They make low wattage quieter amps for pros that need quieter stage volume. Peter was having trouble getting his sound at a low volume when playing with Henley and Sheryl and so they eventually came out with 65 Amps.
But they were sharing road stories and Dan brought up a time when Peter was on tour with Don and they were playing at Staples Center in LA. The night before the gig Peter got a call that the Eagles would be joining Don onstage and Peter needed to learn more Eagles songs and if Dan had any records to bring over for Peter to study. Anyway, the day of the gig the whole band showed up minus Don Felder, who Peter had to learn the parts of for the songs they were playing. This was pre-HFO too. This was the "sneak preview" and a surprise thing and the day of the gig in rehearsals Peter made a mistake in a solo of the song.
Right before the gig, Henley was passing Peter in a golf cart and said and I quote "Don't f**k up" (referring to Peter's mistake in soundcheck) and was laughing. Peter said it was hilarious and stressful at the same time. Anyway, the whole band went onstage and the first song was ICTYW and Glenn was sitting behind Peter and Peter was nervous because Glenn played the original part and he had to play the solo that Glenn played on the recording.
Anyway, he played it and the rest of the songs perfectly according to Dan and it was a great night.
But that was pre-HFO tour and one of the first times the band played together (although without Felder) onstage.
Not sure if Soda or anyone knew about this.
Here is the recorded webcast. Eagles/Henley talk starts at 35:45 in.

Interesting story.
I do have a 'reminder' though this won't mean much to anyone outside the UK. On the latest episode of Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson was driving the latest Maserati and said 'Joe Walsh was wrong. MY Maserati goes to 187'! :pimp:
I'll have to watch for that one. My family loves Top Gear!Quote:

Today I went to do an evaluation on a faculty member at an inner city school. It happened to be a couple miles from Beale Street, so I thought I'd have lunch there. What was the road that I took from the high school to Beale Street? Why, it was LINDEN road! Hello, Don Henley reminder.
Hey, what do you guys think of me making separate threads for each Eagle regarding this topic, since there is now one for Glenn? If we don't do that, i'll merge Glenn's into this, I think. Gotta be fair. ;)
Fine by me! :)Quote:

Whatever makes the least work for the Moderators is OK with me.
I'll probably merge the two then.
At any rate, I had a rather unusual "reminder" today!
As I said in another thread, I am watching a "Monkees Marathon" and those of you familiar with the show know that occasionally they Monkees did interview segments where they were asked various random questions. Mike Nesmith got asked a question about things he "dug" and he said there was a "thing going around where people were 'digging' ugly things because "everybody digs beautiful things but it takes special talent to dig ugly things." He said this trend was started by Hearts and Flowers.... a group Bernie Leadon was in at the time!
So Mike was trying to copy something Bernie's band started! Cool, eh?
Our girls and boys basketball teams played The Meadville Eagles in the sectional games last night. Couldn't help but be reminded of my favorite band!
My mom's flying to Boston on Sunday, and she has her itinerary on the fridge. I was looking at it today and noticed the abbreviation for the Boston airport was BOS, and immediately thought of Boys of Summer.
I was chatting about music with one of my co-workers today and I mentioned that if The Eagles play anywhere nearby, expect me to take vacation time.
"Oh, I saw them in NJ in 1974. They were good," he said, casual as you please. I think I shocked him when I immediately turned from level-headed accountant to gasping and giggly fangirl.
I'm listening to my Penguins playing the Florida Panthers (tied score at the moment), but this reminds me of the Eagles because our guys sponsored the Panthers training camp last season.
my sister and I were talking about getting some new spring clothes. She said she needed some new tops and that she loves "henleys"... I said I do too!
ooo a Penguin fan... what guys sponsored the Panthers last season?Quote:

Hi Yes you may assume I"m a Sabre fan. I think that does sound odd about them sponsoring the Panthers camp. Do you know if any of them are hockey fans?
Glenn is from Hockeytown USA (Detroit) and there are pics of him on this board in full hockey gear for a practice, I think with Chicago, but I can't remember. There are several of him with a Maple Leafs shirt on (hurts my head to think about it), but they are all very long ago so I have no idea if he still follows hockey. The others, I don't know.Quote:

You're right that he hasn't spoken of it much since, although in an interview last year he said he "killed hockey in Cleveland" because, when approached, he turned down the opportunity to buy into the team and it went bankrupt.
I am watching The Record on BBC Parliament, and the Home Office Minister, Lord Henley, is currently speaking.
Have had company for the past several days...Mom and Bruce came for my Maddie's birthday over the weekend. Weather here has been unseasonably warm (60's and 70's) so they decided to head down to Hill City on Saturday. Tons of great little shops down there. They had lunch at the most popular spot and decided to buy coffee mugs from the restaurant. So now I can have my morning coffee everyday with the Eagles....

That's really cool, VOL!Quote:

Today I went to the Memphis Rock and Soul Museum. I took the tour, and there were several Eagles moments!
During the tour, many jukeboxes were displayed, all the way from 1929 to 1979. All of them were real and had records and labels. I took a look at the 1979 one and an Eagles single - Please Come Home for Christmas/Funky New Year - was one of the selections!
Secondly, in the list of artists who had recorded in Memphis, Joe Walsh's name appeared. That was hardly surprising, as in the late 80s he hung out in Memphis all the time and the cover of his album Got Any Gum is a photo of the Memphian Theater. Still, it was cool to see.
The biggest surprise, however, was a showcase of a certain brand of guitar. There were pictures of several musicians playing the brand of guitar. What should I see in the case but this very photo:

I think I might have startled passerby with my squeal of delight. ;)
Very cool!! Although they got Glenn's name wrong. Glen Frye. :rofl: Could it be any more misspelled?! LOL.
Those are cool guitars too. Les Paul style body shape with Telecaster hardware and a bolt on neck with a rosewood fretboard.
That was a squeal worthy moment indeed!!:thumbsup:Quote:

LOL, Soda! That was great that Glenn's picture was displayed. I would have squealled too! Too bad about the spelling. You would think that for something like this they would have been more careful about making sure it was correct.
I can just hear you! :hilarious:Quote:

It's just sloppy and unprofessional. I'm more contemptuous of it than I am offended by it.
Like Bernie Leadon, Glenn also has to endure his last name being mispronounced a great deal, most typically by British interviewers who haven't done their homework. In the UK, the surname "Frey" rhymes with "Grey." It's only those who've bothered to do their research that know Glenn's surname is pronounced "Fry" - which is also the case for the vast majority of Americans with the surname.
But on the other hand, poor Ralph Fiennes has spent over two decades telling American interviewers to pronounce his name like "Rafe Fines" - and many still haven't learned!
